Accountable BASIC allows for a seamless communication with the accountant, thanks to its dedicated interface. In short, these self-employed will be able to cover all of their tax and accounting obligations from their phones: this is beyond banking, tailored to thee needs of the new self-employed. Nicolas, co-founder & CEO of Accountable :"This partnership highlights the strong stand that ING has been taking to help self-employed professionals optimise their finances and take advantage from the best tools available on the market, beyond banking. We are honoured to bring such a concrete benefit to starters." ING Belgium is excited to partner with the software leader in taxes for self-employed professionals.

They always answer right away to any question I have, they provide clear answers, and they are very patient even when I struggle to understand. They try to explain in different ways. They are very helpful, responsive and friendly.

In the world where everyone seems to be out to get small entrepreneurs and overwhelm them with new rules, more taxes and reporting obligations, Accountable often feels like the one steady partner that actually wants you to succeed, providing quick, clear and personalised support. Thank you!

This program is a lifesaver, and it is always improving. Plus, it has an AI chat feature that is actually useful.

The coaching session on tax management was excellent, good material, excellent explanations and very insightful. Combined with the AI I never feel alone with Accountable.

The availability of your team to help and guide people to understand their finances better is what really makes Accountable valuable. While the AI is able to give answers to most basic questions, specific scenarios need counsel from a human which your team performs beautifully.

They always answer for questions wherever is via direct e-mail or through app. If they can’t answer fully they will forward you to the right place. Documents were always prepared well and ready to send further to government. Everything is intuitive in the app and easy to sort out even for someone completely green in this field.
